Which of the following about solution lf alkali metals in lioquid ammonia is correct ?

A

Are reducing agents

B

are paramagnetic

C

Are good condutor of electricity

D

All are correct statements

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
4
Solution of alkali metals in liquid ammonia contain ammoniated cations and ammoniated electrons.This make the solutions good conductors of electricity.Further the presence of free electrons makes the solutions highly reducing.Furthr in case of dilute solution the electrons are unpaired so the solutions are paramagnetic.

All alkali metals dissolve in anhydrous liquid ammonia to give blue colour solution. It is the ammoniated electron which is reponsible for the blue colour of the solution, and the electrical conductivity is due to the ammoniated cation, [M(NH_(3))_(x)]^(+) as well as the ammoniated electron, [e(NH_(3))_(y)]^(-) , value of x and y depend on the extent of solvation by NH_(3) . Dilute solutions are paramagnetic due to free ammoniated electrons. Q. Which of the following statement about solution of alkali metals in liquid ammonia is correct?
